  3. Flu shot/Pneumonia shot in same arm?

    sMoLsNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it okay to put these vaccines in the same arm? I tried looking this up I can't seem to find anything about it.

  4. Flu shot/Pneumonia shot in same arm?

    sMoLsNurse replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, that's probably the best reasoning. I ended up giving the flu/pneumonia in the same arm to two patients, and they both had reactions. I feel horrible about

    sMoLsNurse posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So, I'm a new graduate (may 2011) and I finally have a job. I was recently hired at an ltc/subacute rehab facility for part-time work. I was told that we were going to be paid for 8 hours only per...

    I wrote this a few months back... I ended up applying to the program and I'm waiting to hear back from them. Has anyone had experience with the LPN to RN program here? Any info would be greatly...

  11. Malpractice Insurance?

    sMoLsNurse replied to Uptownurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have my own just in case. The problem with the hospitals insurance is they will almost always recover their losses. Meaning they will try to get the money back from you, by garnishing wages and...

    sMoLsNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    So here I am at a retail store giving flu shots, and I had been there for about 30 mins. A woman comes up to me and says, "Hello?? There is no running water in the bathroom, only hand sanitizer! I...

  13. Two months experience--still a new grad, right?

    sMoLsNurse replied to Scooter321's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was told to apply for anything that says 1 year or less... because they may consider new

    Today I had a man come over and said, "You look so young! Since when do they allow 12 year old to be nurses!" Aaarghh... Yea I know he was just being funny, but geeeez I don't look that

  15. Love LOLs

    sMoLsNurse replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in General Nursing

    sMoLsNurse replied to soxguy's topic in General Nursing

  18. ADN new grad... jobs/base pay?

    sMoLsNurse replied to Moecato's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You're going to have trouble getting into a hospital without a BSN. However, there are many LTCs or smaller community health centers that would hire a new grad with an ASN. So, if you're just looking...

  19. TEAS Question

    sMoLsNurse replied to adoglover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. how is MPI in Malden for the LPN Program

    sMoLsNurse replied to mlg8's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    As a former graduate of MPI, I agree with everything 21police said. When I went there tuition was 18k. It's ridiculous that they've gone up 5k in a year, because they know they can get away with it....

  25. Rock and a Hard Place.

    sMoLsNurse replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I won't even get a chance to see the contract for another two weeks, after they finish all the usual background checks. I'm not really looking to burn bridges, as they are part of Partners
